Clandestine (film)

Clandestine is a short film written by and featuring the members of the band AFI, and directed by Norwood Cheek. It was released in a special edition box set of their 2003 album Sing the Sorrow. There are two soundtracks that can be selected on the DVD: one each by band members Hunter Burgan and Jade Puget.

The box that some versions of CD and DVD are packaged in is seen in the film. The band members try throughout the film to obtain the box, and once they do, they open it, but it is not revealed what is inside. Davey Havok is also seen writing the booklet that comes with the set. Above him is a picture similar to that on the cover of the band's album Black Sails in the Sunset but the large ship is notably missing from the picture.

Several elements from the lyrics of Sing the Sorrow appear in the film:

• The writing on the chalkboard: "Nothing", "From Nowhere" and "I am no one at all" (from "Miseria Cantare")
• A white crysanthemum (from "The Great Disappointment")
• A rabbit (from "Rabbits are Roadkill on Route 37")
• Black liquid in the bathtub (from "Bleed Black")
  
  

The time 3:33 mysteriously reoccurs throughout the film. The mysterious number "37" also appears on the classroom door. In one scene, band member Adam Carson is seen playing poker with a hand consisting of three threes and two sevens. These numbers have a secret meaning that has something to do with Sing the Sorrow, but the meaning has yet to be revealed.
